OK, but can he play? Ray Edwards is a physical specimen, but he turned out to be mediocre.

The young guns will get their opportunities. Although I like Sidbury and Massaquoi, I think that Matthews will eventually turn out to be the best of the bunch. I have no insider information. I am just going on the gut feeling that Matthews has the most aggressive attitude.

The best thing about the Edwards release is that our young talents will get more chances to prove themselves. By the end of the season, we will know whether we have to draft a pass rusher in the first round.

Listen to massaquoi's sack numbers over a 2 year period. One massive year one average year in which weight and scheme tripped him up. Smith andNolan got him back to that weight and you Nolan will have him rushing. I think Mass is gonna be a pleasant surprise.

“He’s very talented and very raw,” Nolan said. “He has a lot to learn, but is very talented. He’s very explosive and will flash often. Sometimes doing his job; sometimes not. I think we are all excited about the potential that he has. He’ll just have to continue to mature, but he’s a good prospect.”

I wonder what things would have been like if they just handed Kroy the keys last year instead of signing Edwards. I've always thought he has nothing but potential. Now he can live up to it and get us that 5-8 sacks we expected from Edwards. I've seen Kroy line up in that 3 DT set that we run to stop the run at times. I know its not 4 DT when he is in there but he has lined up at DT in the past. It would be interesting to put Abe on the outside standing on one side and put Massaquoi and his speed standing on the other side. One of them should be fast enough to mess the pocket. It would be nice to get that kind of speed after Freeman this week.

Hindsight is 20/20. I didn't think Kroy had it in him to be the full time guy back then, but he has proven me wrong.

never ending motor yes.....just like Kerney....no....I wish we had a young Kerney....thet MOFO knew how to tackle......I do like the Beerman very much but seriously there was something about Kerney....

Also wish we had a Tuggle......Weatherspoon is close except he talks a lot....Lofton reminded me of Tuggle.....then we let him go (which has been okay and you have to do what you have to do) but could you imagine if we had not signed Edwards and we would have kept lofton.....I think our defense would be outstanding...

Would rather have a MLB that can actually cover. He's been abused in coverage this year.
